Interesting Differences between Tom and Sharky's...

[Dputiger]

There's some interesting FPS differences between Sharky's and Tom's when they reviewed the 'Duron'--can someone explain these?

These are taken from both sites 'Quake III' benchmarks.

Duron 700

Sharky's: 85.5 FPS
Tom's: 116.4 FPS

Pentium III 700 EB

Sharky's: 107.3 FPS
Tom's: 132.2 FPS

Athlon 700 'Classic'

Sharky's: 98.9 FPS
Tom's: 116.3 FPS

Can someone explain to me why Sharky's FPS are consistently 15-20% lower then Tom's on all machines?
